Life After Birth with Yara Heary

Yara Heary - Perinatal Psychologist | Educator | Speaker•www.lifeafterbirth.com.au

Life after birth is a podcast hosted by me; mother, psychologist and coach, Yara Heary. This is where I'll talk to women about their complex experiences of being a mother. You'll find me talking to experts but not how you've heard them talk before. I'll be asking them about their experiences behind their expertise - who were they before a mother, how has it changed them, and who have they become.
